Summer Winding Down and Still Having Fun!



Well, I would like to just say thank you to everybody who is reading my blog these days. I actually have a good size fan base now(haha). I almost feel like a rock star! It is weird because I sometimes read famous people's blogs. It is like I am friends with them but I am not. I really need to get myself a life, don't I? I think I have spent about 20 hours this week watching various videos on Youtube. I have almost watched all of the Kelly Clarkson ones. I am really on a KC kick. I listen to her new album all the time. IT is awesome! I do not know why I am so addicted to her right now. I just think that she is awesome and her new music really hits a great cord with me right now. I bet one day I will be so sick of the album that I will throw it away. Okay maybe not!

We are done with Rebecca patrol. It is kinda quiet around here now. I picked her up from camp earlier this week and had a plan to go for a short walk and then do beads(see pictures). She told me she didn't want to bead and that she didn't know how....which was very funny to me because she has hundreds of them at her house that she has made! I told her that she then would have to come up with a plan for the hour we had between being done with camp and when grandma came home. She couldn't come up with anything so we beaded anyway. I really am a teacher...my teacher vocab always comes out when dealing with any kid!

I went to the Merrill Fair with a bunch of my Wausau friends on Friday. It was fun. I think the food was definitely the highlight(besides the company, of course). I ate fried cheese curds, corn and an Elephant Ear. (Not a real elephant's ear of course...fried scone-like bread with cinnamon-sugar on top....mmmm mmmmm good!) We basically just ate and saw a few of the animals. Kim's little boy Ty liked the tractors the best and the geese that were about as tall as he is! My friend, Marla had to work the night shift that night and I need to be to the Harry Potter Party in Rhinelander so we left before everybody else.

The Harry Potter Party was awesome as always. It was kinda sad to think it would be the last Harry Potter Party, but it was good. My cousin, Shannon and my Aunt Linda came for the special night. We ate some cookies and made hats as we waited for midnight when we could get the books. Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long because we got there after eleven. It was cool to see all the people dressed up and having fun! My mom and Shannon stood in a long line to get our three books just after midnight. I looked at the books on a shelf through the window and was in awe at how many new Harry Potter books there were there. I have read the first two chapters so far and it looks like it is going to be a good read so far! I am so slow at reading the Harry Potter books, I may not be done before Thanksgiving seeing it is over 700 pages long. It is also going to be difficult for me because I am addicted to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series right now. I guess I will just read them all at the same time. That is a weird thing for me!

It is fun to have family here at the house right now. My cousin brought all of her family which consists of her husband, Paul, daughter, Gabby, and son, Thomas. Gabby is two and Thomas is one. Thomas is so very cute and funny. I like to teach him new things...like pound it...he will pound your fist if you put it out for him. I taught him that last month and he remembers. I love it. My Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda are also here. I love seeing all of my family.

Summer is going too fast. I will have to enjoy my last few weeks to the fullest, as all of you should! ;)
